[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 3855819, member: 24302"] Lived down there for three months. Saw a lot of poverty. And a lot of development. Saw young adults everywhere staring at their smartphones. Saw every kind of luxury car there is in heavy traffic. Saw people packed like sardines in city busses. Saw modern supermarkets. Modern airports. Bus terminals that looked like airports. I was there, where were you? I'm not saying Mexico provides the opportunities for it's people that we provide for ours. If they did a tenth of their population wouldn't be living here. But it's not the horror show some would have us believe either. Tell you what...let's open the borders up completely. No border patrol. Let's jack up taxes to provide all of them with food, clothing, housing, healthcare. Let's see if that will improve our lives. You're so keen on letting them all in so let's do that. You're right about everything so what could go wrong? While we're at it let Canadians in too. Poor rickyb must be freezing up there. Don't stop there, if China can handle over a billion people so can we. I say we carve out the Americas for ourselves. India and China can take in all of Asia, Europe can handle Africa. Think how pristine the rest of the world will become if we move all the world's poor into 4 areas. Yeah, that's the ticket. About time someone came up with a solution instead of all the incessant whining. [/QUOTE]
